The Pharaoh's sceptre is a rare item obtainable from the Grand Gold Chest or the Sarcophagus in each room during the Pyramid Plunder Activity in Sophanem. The probability of receiving this item is increased if you wear a Ring of wealth. It requires 30 Attack and 30 Magic to wield. When you obtain it you will be ejected from Pyramid Plunder. The Pharaoh's sceptre is a two-handed magic weapon that provides Magic defence and attack bonuses, and a considerable Strength bonus for a magic weapon. In addition, the sceptre stores 3 teleports to 3 pyramids in the Kharidian Desert. Teleporting by using this sceptre works up to level 30 wilderness. The Pharaoh's Sceptre now displays its remaining charges in the name of the item. This was introduced with the 17 November 2009 update.

Locations

The sceptre can be used to teleport to the following pyramids:

• Jalsavrah - the Pyramid Plunder activity, where you can recharge with artefacts.
• Jaleustrophos - the Agility Pyramid, next to Simon Templeton.
• Jaldraocht - Azzanadra's pyramid in Desert Treasure which is convenient for switching to Ancient Magicks. (Although after the Home Teleport Update, a player can now "Home Teleport" directly to Azzanadra's pyramid. This requires no charges or runes).

Recharging

When the sceptre's charges are empty, players may recharge it by using it on the Guardian mummy in the Pyramid Plunder minigame. (The player can also just talk to the Guardian mummy to recharge it, as long as the sceptre is in inventory or is wielded.) It is recommended that players use two charges, and teleport to Pyramid plunder to recharge if needed, saving time. In order to recharge, players should either "use" the sceptre on the Mummy or talk to him with the uncharged sceptre in the inventory. He will complain about the player owning it, but will go ahead and recharge it anyway. It is also recommended that players use the gold artefacts to recharge their sceptre because it takes less time.

He will recharge it for any of the following reward items from the activity:

• 1 Jewelled golden statuette
• 6 Gold ornaments (seal, scarab, and statuette) (worth 4.5k-7.5k coins with Simon Templeton)
• 12 Stone ornaments (seal, scarab, and statuette) (worth 1.8k-2.4k coins)
• 24 Pottery ornaments (scarab, and statuette) (worth 1.8k-2.4k coins)
• 24 Ivory combs (worth 2.5k-4k coins)

NOTE: If players have multiple types of rewards in their inventory, i.e. stone seals, and stone scarabs, and they select to recharge, the mummy will take the items with the lowest value first. (Of the selected category of course)

Recharging Table

Trivia

• As of 23 March 2010 the 1 charge and 2 charge versions of the Pharaoh's Sceptre can no longer be traded on the Grand Exchange.
• If you try to sell the sceptre to Simon Templeton at the Agility Pyramid, he will try to convince the player that it is worthless and try to buy it for 100 gp, which your character refuses.
• If your inventory is full when you find the sceptre, it will be on the ground under you when ejected from the pyramid.
• The Pharaoh's sceptre's teleport animation is similar to the Daemonheim teleport, which can be done with the Ring of Kinship, and the Ancient Magicks teleports.
• Though the player who finds the sceptre can't see it happen (being ejected from the pyramid), the Guardian Mummy briefly appears in the room where it was found.
